Promoters need to bring heavy metal bands to DR
This is a music genre that has many fans in Dominican Republic and yet it is always ignored by promoters and I don't understand why. When you have Iron Maiden going to Puerto Rico and giving a concert over there and they don't make the effort to bring them to my country it just looks really pathetic. I'm sorry but not every Dominican likes that garbage reggeaton or bachata music some of us like Heavy Metal and would love to see in our home country. I myself would travel back to my country just to see one of the popular metal bands. We want Manowar, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer and big bands like that in DR.

Ditto here, fellow dominican. I have always hated that reggaeton garbage, so much that I think that panamians should be ashamed and be held in contempt just for coming up with such unimaginative disparate, and boricuas are even more guilty for promoting it, all the more when you consider that they have such a decent genre of their own in salsa.

Didn't know there were many metal fans in DR, though I know a handful of fellow casual metal fans here in NYC.

One problem which you can tell just from the above few posts is that metals best days are clearly behind it. In fact the best metal I heard lately was by Metalocalypse Dethklok which is a comedy group. Avenged Sevenfold is pretty awesome as well.

You don't know even know what you are talking about of all the artists that you mentioned only Metallica. Motorhead, and Ozzy are metal bands. To remind you Heavy Metal bands are filling up stadiums all over the world especially in Europe and South America Iron Maiden for example played in front of over 250,000 people in Brazil.

DominicanForWhiteWomen,
No one expects a SANKY like you to be a profound thinker.........Self hate is one of the worst thing done to the human psyche!

First of all I'm no sanky I hate them and what they stand for and I don't approve of using women for money and as a ticket to get out of Dominican Republic. Just because I love and prefer white women that doesn't make me a sanky its just a matter of taste and everybody has the right of being attracted to whoever they want. All I'm saying is that the Dominican people never progress and don't want to explore new things or be open to other forms of music other then the crap they are listening to now.
